i’ve been daily driving nushell for about 6 months and it’s been great for the most part. the downsides are 90% regular breaking changes (big breaking changes just dropped today that i’ll have to migrate) and 10% translating scripts or commands from bash.
it can really make you feel like a wizard the first time you bang out a pipeline to change some data in a JSON file.
the only thing i might mildly disagree with is the sentiment that we need community buy-in. sure it would be nice if the project had more eyes on it, but i’m not trying to convince my company to adopt nushell. unlike TypeScript or Rust i don’t have to inconvenience anyone by introducing nushell to my workflow. you can just start using it. and i’d recommend it to basically anyone who isn’t brand new to shells. but it doesn’t hurt my feelings one bit if my coworkers don’t see the appeal
